The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement provided and determine which ones are incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement I**: "Pyruvate can be converted into lactic acid by yeast." - This statement is **incorrect**. Pyruvate is converted into lactic acid in animal cells (like muscle cells) during anaerobic respiration, but in yeast, pyruvate is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide, not lactic acid. 2. **Analyze Statement II**: "Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration." - This statement is **correct**. Fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen and is indeed a type of anaerobic respiration. 3. **Analyze Statement III**: "Fermentation takes place in mitochondria." - This statement is **incorrect**. Fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, not in the mitochondria. Mitochondria are involved in aerobic respiration, not fermentation. 4. **Analyze Statement IV**: "Fermentation takes place in yeast." - This statement is **correct**. Yeast is well-known for carrying out fermentation, particularly alcoholic fermentation, where it converts sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are: - Statement I: Pyruvate can be converted into lactic acid by yeast. (Incorrect) - Statement III: Fermentation takes place in mitochondria. (Incorrect) ### Final Answer: The incorrect statements are I and III. ---
